Re: [Arches] Django not installed message
Sorry, I meant I will *NOW* try to do some basic customizations and import some of my Dublin Core based Metadata ( a simple set ) and see how this goes.

Re: [Arches] Django not installed message
Dear Adam Thanks for delving in to this. Many apologies for this late reply. As in many small teams I have to get my hand in many pies and had to quickly jump from one project to another. I have been able to install the latest Arches version 4.0.1. I will not try to do some basic customizations and import some of my Dublin Core based Metadata ( a simple set ) and see how this goes.

Re: [Arches] Django not installed message
*An update on this:* It seems that there is a hiccup with the command "pip install arches --no-binary :all:" But if I run this command *pip install arches==4.0b3 --no-binary :all:* django is installed ! I am not sure why the default version of Arches will not pull the dependancies. regards Roshan On Wednesday, 22 November 2017 10:25:18 UTC+2, Roshan Bhurtha wrote: > > Dear Adam, > Thanks for your reply. > I ran the "pip install arches --no-binary :all:" command, and it said > all "Requirement already satisfied", BUT django was not installed when I > imported inside Python! > Have a look at this screenshot please. > Any ideas what I am doing wrong ? > Thanks > Roshan > > > <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-du6pO4bvNz4/WhUz8c-Bn0I/CFE/ixs_rBOP8_0wx8WHijMs2M5n_R8tDbF9ACLcBGAs/s1600/django.png> > > > On Friday, 17 November 2017 18:40:22 UTC+2, Adam Cox wrote: >> >> Hi Roshan, >> >> Any command you run that references the manage.py file must be run with >> the virtual environment activated, which will add the (ENV) prefix to your >> command prompt. >> >> To quickly test that Django (along with all other python dependencies) >> has installed correctly, you can activate your virtual environment, then >> run python (which will open the python interpreter) then import django. >> If you get an error, then something didn't work during the pip install >> arches --no-binary :all: process.

[Arches] Re: Is Arches suitable for this project ?
Hi Vincent. Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed answer. It's much appreciated. Regarding the display of 3D models, I am familiar with 3D-HOP and have been using it for to display all our 3D models for a while now. Heva look at our website when you can: http://www.zamaniproject.org/index.php/3d-model-viewer.html Thanks a lot for the ideas regarding the documentation of the laser scans. It's also good to know that we can import our Dublin Core metadata in Arches. This will help a lot. I will use Arches V4, definitely. I will start by understanding and creating the resource file model, as you suggest. thanks!

[Arches] Is Arches suitable for this project ?
Dear Forum users, I have a couple of questions regarding the applicability of Arches to our spatial heritage documentation project. I want to know if you think, Arches is overkill or not applicable for our project. Website: www.zamaniproject.org Our team documents heritage sites and creates associated metadata using the Dublin Core Standards. We create 1. High resolution 3D models using laser scans (textured & untextured) 2. Plans & sections derived from the laser scans 3. GIS’s of the sites 4. Full dome Panoramas 5. Collection of Casual photos 6. Drone imagery I would like to use Arches to make our data more “visible” online. Our web site shows a sample of our data, but does not have any query functionality, login capability etc.. I started installing Arches V3 on a local machine and got it to work partially, but took me some time to get it going. The effort to get Arches to work was then stopped as we are unsure if it is worthwhile. So my questions are: - Is it worthwhile for me to look further into Arches ? - Is there a possibility of importing, in a batch fashion, Dublin Core metadata ( xml or csv) into Arches easily ? - Any other suggestions ?

[Arches] Re: Signing in
Hi Vincent. Thanks for the welcome! I am glad you like our web site, but as I have said previously there is a lot more to do . There are some bugs to be removed and our user interface for 3DHOP is primitive. It needs a good overhaul. Our primary objective was to show case a subset of our data, where users can then request more if they like it. I will start a thread regarding the use of 3DHOP if anyone wants to talk about it. I also just started with the Arches install and don't have anything up & running.

[Arches] Re: Signing in
Hi Ed. Thanks for the warm welcome. I am glad you like our web page but we have a lot more work to do on it. I only started looking at Arches and going though the installation process and that of *Arches-HIP <http://arches-hip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>* thanks!

[Arches] Re: Signing in
Hi Ed. I am Roshan Bhurtha, from the Zamani Project, Geomatics Division, University of Cape Town. I am an Electrical Engineer/Programmer and I work in a team which documents heritage sites in the Middle East and Africa. We have been documenting heritage sites for more than a decade and worked with international institutions, incl. the Getty ( Valley of the Queens Project). My function in the team is: writing code when needed for our laser scan processing pipeline, processing 3D terrestrial lidar, automating processes, teaching programming, fieldwork (the most interesting part), metadata stuff, and some admin :) Arches looks like a very nice way to present our data to the public ( and we have a lot of it ). I want a system that can help me manage users with different access levels, with the possibility to upload download data and present our massive 3D data sets and GIS data on the web. We do that, partially on our web site, but there is lots of room for improvements (www.zamaniproject.org) ! I currently use FTP when having to dish out data to people, but starts to be a pain. We are based at the beautiful University of Cape Town, at the foot of the Devil's Peak. Out of my window is, unfortunately, another set of ugly windows. But a 1 minute walk out of the office building gives me a nice panoramic view of the city. I look forward to Arches!
